Chapter 393 I'm afraid you can't leave today

"Hurry, catch up with him, don't let him run away!"

"He Wenjun, you are surrounded. I advise you to stop resisting and surrender!"

A group of bandits from the Green Forest Alliance surrounded them aggressively.

"He Wenjun" suffered a lot of external injuries and escaped down the mountain from a small road to Canghuang, heading straight to the Xichuan Army.

"General!"

When the Xichuan army officers and soldiers saw this scene, they were all stunned and hurried to support the man.

Seeing that there were so many people, the bandits of the Green Forest Alliance did not dare to chase them. They looked at each other and said, "Let's go!"

Seeing this, the generals were about to chase after him to avenge their general, but they heard "He Wenjun" weakly say, "Retreat..."

Although they were somewhat unwilling, military orders were as strong as mountains, not to mention that their general was seriously injured and needed immediate treatment.

"Military doctor, call the military doctor!"

The guards immediately called a military doctor over, but He Wenjun shook his head slightly and said, "Return home immediately... I have something important to tell my wife..."

When everyone heard this, their hearts skipped a beat.

Could it be that their general is about to die and wants to leave a will to his family?

"Quick, go back home!"

The generals lifted up He Wenjun and rushed back to the city.

The speed on the road was too fast, and the military doctor was unable to treat the wound carefully. He only applied some medicine and gave it a simple bandage.

When they arrived at the general's mansion, He Wenjun's wife, Zheng, had already received a letter via pigeon and was waiting at the door.

Seeing her husband seriously injured, she was shocked, "How could he be injured so badly?"

"My lady, the Green Forest Alliance asked the general to go up the mountain to negotiate, but they ended up murdering him. If it weren't for the general's bravery, he would have fallen into their trap!"

When Zheng heard the report, she felt dizzy for a moment and almost couldn't stand steadily. She quickly asked someone to help her husband to the room.

"Husband, husband, what happened to you? Does it hurt? Don't worry, I will call a doctor to save you immediately, you will be fine..."

But "He Wenjun" waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Zheng in the room.

His voice was hoarse from the injury, a little different from usual, but his tone was firm and unquestionable, "I'm dying... There are people from the imperial court in the Green Forest Alliance... You bring all the stuff here immediately... Burn it all in front of me..."

Zheng was the only daughter of Duke Zheng's cousin. All of He Wenjun's dealings with the capital went through her.

As soon as she heard it, she knew what her husband was talking about and realized the seriousness of the problem. She quickly asked someone to prepare a brazier and sent her wet nurse and nanny away.

Seeing that they were the only two people in the room, she moved a vase on the antique display shelf and opened a secret compartment one foot square.

But the secret compartment was still locked. Zheng fiddled with it a few times and then asked "He Wenjun", "Husband, how do you unlock the rest?"

"He Wenjun" was a little stunned.

This couple really doesn't trust each other. Even a machine lock requires the combined efforts of both of them to open.

But he is fake, so how does he know how to solve the rest?

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Zheng narrowed her eyes slowly, "Husband?"

"He Wenjun" coughed twice, pretending to be dying and unable to speak, "I... I can't do it anymore..."

When Zheng heard this, tears fell again, "Husband, can we cure your illness first? After you are cured, it won't be too late to destroy those things."

As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood off his face.

He Wenjun became more and more anxious.

The face is only 80% similar. If the bloodstains were wiped off, Zheng, as He Wenjun's bedmate who spent every day and night with him, would definitely have noticed something.

At this moment, a silver needle flew in from the window and pierced Zheng's neck.

Zheng's body went limp and she fell on the bed.

"He Wenjun" pushed the person aside, quickly opened the window, and let the person outside in, "Boss."

"Tsk——" Ling Feng asked him to lower his voice.

This He Wenjun is indeed quite capable, and he has made the military headquarters' defenses as impregnable as a rock.

If it weren't for the fake "He Wenjun" being injured and causing a commotion, and if it weren't for his better lightness skills than others, he might not have been able to sneak in.

"How's it going?" he asked.

The fake "He Wenjun" said, "The secret compartment has been found, but there is a mechanism on it that is locked. He Wenjun and Zheng each know half of the solution, and now the other half remains to be solved."

Ling Feng immediately stepped forward to check, his brows furrowed instantly, "Six Yao Linglong Lock."

Once the lock is forced open, it will trigger the interlayer phosphorus powder.

The moment it is opened, the contents will spontaneously combust.

Therefore, no mistakes can be made during the unlocking process.

Ling Feng took a deep breath and began to slowly slide the lock.

But at this moment, there was a noisy sound outside the house, preparing to break in.

"Get out of here! I want to see my father!"

"Grandpa, you can't leave me like this, look at your sons!"

Judging from the voices, they seemed to be He Wenjun's wives and concubines.

Seeing that he was about to die, with Zheng being the only one left by his side, the concubines and children were afraid that all the benefits would be taken by Zheng alone, so they wanted to rush in to show their filial piety and get a share of the spoils.

Ling Feng suppressed his anxiety and said, "Stop the people outside the house."

The fake "He Wenjun" nodded, gathered his strength, and roared, "Get lost! Do you think I'm dead? Guards at the door, listen up! If you dare to let anyone in, I will kill them immediately!"

After these words were spoken, there was silence at the door for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Didn't you say you were going to die? Why are you still so energetic?

Moreover, he did not treat the injury and just left Zheng in the house. What on earth was he trying to do?

Although everyone had their doubts, considering what had just been said, no one wanted to take the lead and cause trouble.

This wait lasted two hours.

The more they waited, the more they felt something was wrong. Finally, the eldest son of the He family spoke first, "Get out of the way! If you dare to stop me again, if anything happens to my father, I will hold you responsible!"

As he was talking, he rushed in with his bodyguards.

When they entered, everyone was dumbfounded.

Zheng was lying unconscious on the bed, while the seriously injured "He Wenjun" had disappeared!

…

On the other side, in the Green Forest Alliance.

The real He Wenjun was having a very pleasant conversation with Xiao Jinxuan, and they even became close friends.

Seeing that it was getting late and the time he had agreed with the generals was coming up, he stood up and said goodbye, "It's settled then. I will bring back all the tax money this year. When I get back, I will immediately report to the higher-ups and I will give Brother Xu Xian a satisfactory position!"

Xiao Jinxuan didn't even raise his head, but yanked the fishing rod hard and pulled up a fish.

He took the fish off the hook slowly and put it into the fish basket. "I'm afraid General He can't leave today."

When He Wenjun heard this, he suddenly realized something was wrong. "You want to break the agreement? Aren't you afraid that tens of thousands of Xichuan troops will come up the mountain and leave you without a penny!"

He had already passed the order to his generals, and when no sign of him was seen at the hour of You, they immediately attacked the Green Forest Alliance.

This mob cannot stop the regular army!

"Then let them fight up the mountain." Xiao Jinxuan patted his clothes and stood up, holding the fish basket and preparing to go back to make fish soup for Xie Zhuoning.

Several Feiyun Guards rushed out from behind him and surrounded He Wenjun.

"General He, I'm sorry!"

"Oh, just you guys?" He Wenjun didn't take them seriously at all and directly used the fishing rod as a weapon to fight with them.

If the Feiyun Guards fought alone, they would naturally be no match for He Wenjun.

But the Feiyun Guards advanced and retreated in moderation and cooperated well. You attacked and I retreated, you swept and I chopped, not giving He Wenjun any chance to breathe.

Not long after, He Wenjun was captured.

He was panicking, "Who are these people?"

They were already very brave to intrude on the Green Forest Alliance, but now they even dare to arrest a military leader and a high-ranking official from the imperial court. Don’t they want to live?

This obviously doesn't sound like an attitude of asking for money. If you want to arrest him, why did you talk so much just now?

It doesn't seem like they are trying to gain a few points of profit, but rather to delay time.

These people clearly have other intentions!

What are you trying to achieve?

He Wenjun suddenly had a terrible guess -

He always felt that the guy who did the fishing had some resemblance to Prince Xuan.

Could it be that the Dog Emperor has discovered something and therefore secretly sent His Royal Highness Prince Xuan to Xichuan to investigate?

Doesn't that mean that the Xichuan Army is in danger, Duke Zheng is in danger, and His Royal Highness Prince Yong is in danger!

No, we have to find a way to spread the news quickly!
